October 23rd Update: Thanks to all participants!

Thanks to everyone for participating in a wonderful MOOT, filled with amazing talks, poster presentations, and many scientific and social discussions. We were thrilled to host you in Guelph. Thanks to our sponsors, it was possible to recognize two of our speakers and four of our poster presenters with awards - please see below for some photos. Thanks also to everyone who helped evaluate posters and talks, and served as session chairs - your efforts helped to make the meeting a great experience for all.

Next year's MOOT will be held at McMaster University. We hope to see you all there!

What is the MOOT?

The MOOT (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto) NMR meeting is an informal gathering of researchers from central and eastern Canada that specialize in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging. The meeting's main goal is to serve as a forum for students and postdocs to present their latest work. There is, of course, also an important social aspect, with a chance for the NMR community in central and eastern Canada to get together and catch up with each other.
